The SKCC Weekend Sprintathon often features some type of Bonus Points.
November Theme — VETERANS
SKCC Members who are Veterans will earn 5 Bonus Points for each QSO they make.
Veterans will transmit their number of years of service as part of their Exchange. This usually is done as part of the NAME/XX field.
On the receiving end, Veterans and non-Veterans count the number of years of service sent to you as your Bonus Points.
SKCC runs a monthly activity, which is a great environment for getting comfortable with contest-like CW QSOs.
The Weekend Sprintathon (WES) spans a weekend, each with a fun theme for collecting bonus points.
These events provide a great opportunity for those seeking various SKCC recognition levels, besides contacting friends old and new!
Typically, SKCC operators will QRS to the speed of the station calling them.
